Grahamstown Dam Routine Safety & Maintenance Inspection

by Catchment Operations, from the Community

Use this routine dam safety and maintenance inspection checklist for Grahamstown Dam. Document gauge board and PLC readings, V-notch weir seepage, rainfall and water clarity. Inspect main and subsidiary embankments for wet spots, erosion, animal burrows and vegetation. Review spillway, gabions, control gates, hydraulic systems, toe drains, road and crest conditions, and access. Capture photos and record observations for follow-up maintenance.

Embankment Dam Inspection Report V1.2.6
This embankment dam inspection report template supports routine and post event assessments of water storage infrastructure. Capture dam details, inspection dates, weather, reservoir levels, and photos. Evaluate upstream and downstream slopes, crest, toe and foundations for erosion, seepage, cracks, settlement, animal burrows and vegetation. Review spillways, conduits, energy dissipation structures, and bottom outlets. Document instrumentation, surveillance practices, O&M staffing, and dam safety management system compliance. Record findings, recommendations, required repairs, and assign an overall condition rating.

Ash Dam B Inspection Record Checklist
This ash dam inspection record helps teams at Callide Ash Dam B document key operational checks. Capture date and weather, assign inspectors, and record dam storage levels in metres AHD. Inspect the crest for cracking, settlement, drainage, signage, and vegetation. Review the downstream face for erosion, slumps, inappropriate vegetation, animal activity, and signs of seepage, confirming markers and drainage points are clear. Assess the spillway for concrete distress, obstructions, booms, and channel vegetation. Log seepage observations and V-notch weir readings (including pump status and turbidity) across V1–V4, with notes for decommissioned or additional points. Conclude with incident notes and signatures, ensuring reports are saved per site procedures.

Ash Dam Daily Readings
Use this checklist to capture daily ash dam water level readings for Callide B, including rainfall at AD4 and ADB, V notch weir levels at AD4 and EDD, distribution tank readings at FQ61, and spillway meter board checks for the east and west dam. Record measurements consistently, verify against spillway thresholds, and add signatures to confirm data integrity and operational compliance. Designed for power station dam monitoring and environmental reporting.

South Para Dam Inspection Checklist
This South Para Dam annual inspection template supports water utility and dam safety teams in planning and recording comprehensive inspections. It covers site information, inspection party, operational status, and dam details, followed by condition checks for weather and site conditions. The checklist guides assessment of the crest, downstream and upstream faces, abutments, and the downstream area, including signs of cracking, erosion, subsidence, animal activity, overtopping, vegetation, bulging, and seepage. It includes outlet works and tower inspections, valve status and testing, spillway elements, and instrumentation such as survey marks, standpipes, settlement, and gauge boards. Access, reservoir rim stability, communications, power supply, and surveillance frequencies aligned with ANCOLD guidelines are also included, culminating in structured observations and photos for thorough dam safety oversight.
